The Warriors will have a league-high 20 sets of back-to-backs to deal with, one more than the 19 they had last season. The sets are comprised of 11 road/road, one home/home, four home/road, and four road/home contests. However, the Warriors do receive a reprieve as they will not be playing a stretch of four games in five nights at any point of the season (for the first time in franchise history).
